[Correction of the intraintestinal status in patients with diffuse peritonitis]

Complex methods of intraintestinal status correction are proposed for patients surgically treated for general peritonitis. These methods consist of three main components: suppression of excessive bacterial colonization of gastrointestinal tract; binding of toxic substances and microorganisms; colonization of small intestine by physiological strains of bacteria. Original design of three-lumen tube for nasogastrointestinal intubation was used. Clinical study was carried out in 2 groups of patients. Study group consisted of 79 patients treated by proposed methods; only gastrointestinal intubation by three-lumen tube was performed in 44 patients (control group). Usage of the proposed methods led to dysbacteriosis correction and fast appearance of intestinal peristalsis, improved the course of postoperative period. The mortality was 8.9% in the study group and 13.6% in the control group.
